Polymarchs - Recent Years (1998 - Present)

Present)

After Tony's death, Apolinar hired Victor Estrella, another SONIDERO DJ that DJ'ed for the SONIDO "Winners" since the late 1980s. This decision proved to be highly controversial since Victor and Tony had different DJ'ing styles. Polymarchs continued to play Eurodance music until about 2001, where Polymarchs decided to introduce more Euro House and Electro music styles. After Alfa Radio 91.3 switched formats to a more current rock format, Polymarchs began providing sound and lighting to the music festivals hosted by rival station "Stereo 97.7", which lasted until about 2004.

Polymarchs also re-introduced the Hi-NRG and Italo Disco formats in many of their shows. Often, Polymarchs divided a show with older formats and newer styles which proved to be a hit with both the older and newer generations. Polymarchs also modernized their sound and lighting for the new millennium. This move ultimately led them to their first ever sold-out show at the Zocalo in the heart of the city in 2002. This became the first production in which was recorded as live audio by Discos Musart like the cassette tapes were from the 1980s. Polymarchs also performed numerous times at the Torero De Cuatro Caminos with many sold-out shows. In 2003, Polymarchs hosted a tribute to its longtime DJ, Tony Barrera by bringing Tapps to perform live. In 2005, the collective once again performed at the Zocalo with a record 90,000 people in attendance. This has been the collective's most successful show to date.

In recent years, Polymarchs has experimented with more mainstream styles, and continues to play its House and Electro formats as well as Italo Disco sparingly. Victor Estrella continues to DJ for Polymarchs and the collective continues to tour all across Mexico and select shows across the United States. Recently, Polymarchs hasn't toured as extensively as they did in earlier years, but Apolinar hopes to continue the collective for a few more years. He has publicly admitted that the SONIDERO era has ended and that Polymarchs's success is numbered. Apolinar believes that the collective will continue for a few more years before he retires the family business altogether in the near future.
